Can I use your code?

Sure, but under the following terms:

  • Your bot MUST be OpenSource.
  • You give credit in your code, and in any documentation of your bot.
  • Pleeaase don't just take my bot, tweak it and release it under another name. Rather tell me about the changes, and I'll give you credit. =)

What's next for your robot?

An Antisurfer Gun, speeding it up, and a major refactor!

Does it have any WhiteWhales?

6 or 7 bots that I'm not sure what to do about.

What other robot(s) is it based on?
